Birth.Video.Death.: Our FAVOURITE Ladies of the 18th Century

Get your tickets to see The Favourite at the Alamo Drafthouse right here.

Before Rachel Weisz, Emma Stone, and Olivia Colman captivate you with their exceptional performances in Yorgos Lanthomos’ The Favourite, join us in this look back at some of cinema’s most remarkable ladies of the 18th century.

From the inexperienced Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst) to the diabolical Marquise de Merteuil (Glenn Close), women of the century had to get a little creative when it came to securing their place in polite society. Despite being faced with endless trials and tribulations, they always managed to look the part.

If that's not enough pomp and circumstance to satisfy your senses, then stay tuned! The Favourite promises a lot more 18th century intrigue, decadence, and, above all else, phenomenal women when it hits theaters on December 6th.
